Crowdfunding is the new way to raise money for a personal cause on JustGiving.

Story

For years I dreamt of being able to go to university. So when I managed to secure a place I was obviously delighted. The reality of university however wasn't anything the movies. I have struggled with finances in the past during my studies but always managed to find a way to live. This time however I am in a position based on circumstances which I have caused partial myself were I cannot even afford food. I have literally half a bag of rice in my cupboard. I have been eating rice and butter for the past 4 days.

The circumstances that lead me here evolved around alcohol and depression. I have been trying to get my life back on track through counselling which I have just began.I am desperate and have struggled to ask for help in the past. I just need to be able to afford to buy food while I get my finances sorted. I am living a life in isolation pretty much and have nobody to turn to. I just want a chance to get my life on track and complete my studies.

I am now facing become homeless. I really need help to get a new flat sorted.

Unfortunately my situation had now worsened. I am now about to become homeless. I am being removed from my university accommodation because of the incident months ago that began all of this. The situation is just becoming more bleak by the day. Thank you so much for the donations so far.
